And the spreadsheet breaking down Have I Got News guests by gender is now updated. After last night, the figures are now:

29.63% of guests this series, and 23.43% overall, have been women

3 out of 9 guest hosts this season have been women, and 23.08% overall

Charlotte Church broke a run of six straight male hosts, though it was the fourth week in a row with at least one female guest

There’s one more show in this series (next Friday) and I think after that I might do a post on some of the experiences I have had since I started collecting and publishing this information. It’s been quite interesting to see some of the justifications various men have given for these numbers.
